Well, technically, the outside has been updated quite a few times. Notably, the sign on the left door has went from white to blue back to white, and the St. John's Ambulance sticker has faded, disappeared, and reappeared. And the Matt Smith era brought about a TARDIS regeneration, so it looks all shiny and new now.

But, yeah, the same basic police box shape will probably never go away.

It seems to me they changed the top a lot either when they brought the show back or for Tennant. Maybe it's just the fact that we get a lot of high-angle shots of it now.

rmatthewware:nacker: Time Traveling Bunnies: I'll miss the Ponds but am definitely looking forward to some more Oswin.

I'll let someone else nit-pick this one.

Same actress, different character. Karen Gillan was in the Pompeii episode before becoming Amy Pond.

There's a big difference between... the redhead appearing in a minor role as a background character 2 years before becoming the companion and Ace 2.0 appearing as a major guest star the same season she starts with the show.

Oh that's what he's nitpicking? Since everyone's gone out of their way to explain how this situation is different because Moffat intentionally placed Coleman in Asylum after she had been cast as Clara, I think either name is appropriate since the two roles will be connected.

I caught it early and it's AWESOME. Also, I'm really interested in Oswin and what happens with her. My theory is she's a time-splintered Rani who fractured across the timeline to avoid the Time War, but I thought River was the Rani too, so I'm probably wrong. Also, Shrax!

Also, that was the greatest Doctor Who Christmas episode in ages. I've always found them bland or pointless, but this was interesting and really leads into the next season.

It certainly wasn't the best episode ever, but it was hands down the best Christmas special, and not even in the same league as last year. I loved it so farking much. And I'm genuinely excited for the next season now. If you haven't seen it yet, I envy you for being able to watch it for the first time.

Are you kidding me? Yeah Karen Gillan was always wearing skirts but the girl had chopstick legs. Jenna Louise Coleman on the other hand looks to have some meatier legs. Here's hoping she shows them more often.

Also, Victorian detective lizard gay marriage.

Last year's, The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe was far from bland. It was a real tear jerker. But this year's was fantastic. Can't wait to see how this unfolds. Interesting Rani concept, we'll see.
